Fukushima Revitalization

"The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku", which occurred at 14:36 JST on March 11 2011 with the epicenter in the Sanriku offshore, was a magnitude 9.0 undersea megathrust earthquake, that is, the most powerful one on record. It was accompanied by large quakes marking an intensity of 7 and with big seismic sea waves (tsunamis) affecting wide areas.

To achieve the reconstruction and recovery of Fukushima Prefecture, not only making restorative efforts but also the initiatives must be taken. Consequently, the construction of bases for research and development as well as creation of industries are in progress.
